Three fellow prison inmates charged in the brutal bludgeoning death of James (Whitey) Bulger, the wily and charismatic Boston gangster who had evaded a federal dragnet for 16 years, have agreed to a plea deal, according to a filing by federal prosecutors in West Virginia on Monday. Fotios Geas, Paul J. DeCologero and Sean McKinnon faced murder and conspiracy charges after Mr. Bulger, 89, was found beaten to death in his cell in 2018, just hours after being transferred from a Florida lockup where he had been serving two consecutive life sentences for his role in 11 murders. The details of the agreement were not disclosed. In a three-page motion, prosecutors said that the three men had agreed to “cooperate” with the government in preparing a report specifying the circumstances of Mr. Bulger’s killing at the Hazelton federal prison in Bruceton Mills, W.Va.Prison officials had quickly identified Mr. Geas as a suspect in the immediate aftermath of the attack. After a four-year investigation, prosecutors said Mr. DeCologero, a Boston-area gang leader, also took an active role in battering Mr. Bulger, while Mr. McKinnon served as a lookout.

But all the women killed by femicide in Italy have one thing in common: they knew their killers. Italy might have a female prime minister, but she makes a point of not identifying herself as a feminist. The prevalence of domestic violence in Italy is fed by societal failures, says Lorella Zanardo, an activist, educator and documentary filmmaker. While Italy does not have Europe’s highest rate of domestic violence, it is among the lowest ranked in Europe when it comes to gender equality. In Italy, the feminist movement was largely driven by the left, which meant that those who supported right-leaning parties, including current Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, have distanced themselves from feminism entirely.

A jury on Thursday convicted David DePape of federal crimes for breaking into the San Francisco home of Nancy Pelosi and beating her husband with a hammer in an attack last year that raised fears of political violence ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. The jury reached its decision after deliberating for roughly eight hours following a trial that lasted four days. Mr. DePape’s lawyers did not contest the evidence against him, which included police body camera video of the attack on Paul Pelosi and Mr. DePape’s own admissions to the police and on the witness stand. Mr. DePape, 43, faces a possible sentence of life in prison. Defense lawyers had argued to the jury that Mr. DePape’s bludgeoning of Mr. Pelosi, 83, while on a mission to kidnap his wife — then the speaker of the House and second in line to the presidency — did not amount to federal crimes.

The man who was accused of attacking Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer was convicted on Thursday. The October 2022 attack on 82-year-old Paul Pelosi was captured on police body camera footage. The attack on then-82-year-old Paul Pelosi that was captured on police body camera video just days before last year's midterm elections sent shockwaves through the political world. A state trial date will be set during a Nov. 29 hearing, said Randy Quezada, a spokesperson for the San Francisco District Attorney's Office. DePape testified that his plan was to get Nancy Pelosi to admit that she had been lying to the American people.

How strange and, in the end, how ironic that a German singing group, founded in the chaotic last years of the Weimar Republic and forcibly disbanded less than 10 years later, should call itself the Comedian Harmonists. Yet on the evidence of the Barry Manilow musical “Harmony” — for which, yes, he wrote the songs (along with his longtime lyricist, Bruce Sussman) — the internationally famous all-male group had the “harmonist” part of their name just right. Neither the guys nor the grim and eventually bludgeoning show have a gift for levity. Though its title makes it sound as if “Harmony” would be calm and golden, its story isn’t an uplifting one. Soon the brotherhood, symbolized in sound by their questing choral closeness, goes sour — a story that, to be effective, needs vivid contrast so we know what’s been lost.

It was a typical low-key evening for Paul Pelosi while his wife was out of town: dinner out, home around 10 p.m., watch a little television, and then lights out close to midnight. Then about two hours later, he was woken up by an intruder who burst into his third-floor bedroom. “The door opened and a very large man came in with a hammer in one hand and some ties in the other,” Mr. Pelosi, 83, told a jury on Monday. “And he said, ‘Where’s Nancy?’”In a San Francisco courtroom, Mr. Pelosi, the husband of Representative Nancy Pelosi, spoke for the first time publicly about the brutal attack last year that left him hospitalized for days with a cracked skull. The testimony came during the federal trial of David DePape, who has been accused of bludgeoning Mr. Pelosi as he sought out Ms. Pelosi, who was the speaker of the House and in Washington at the time.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The man accused of breaking into former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home, bludgeoning her husband with a hammer and seeking to kidnap her goes on trial Thursday. Where’s Nancy?” DePape asked, standing over Paul Pelosi around 2 a.m. holding a hammer and zip ties, according to court records. Nancy Pelosi was in Washington and under the protection of her security detail, which does not extend to family members. Nancy Pelosi’s husband of 60 years later underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture and injuries to his right arm and hands. After his arrest, DePape, 43, allegedly told a San Francisco detective that he wanted to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage.

Joran van der Sloot is no longer the suspect in my daughter’s murder. The office told the Associated Press it was not immediately clear whether van der Sloot could face murder charges there. Joran van der Sloot (center) is transferred in a police car from the Ancon I jail in Lima, Peru, on June 8. She was last seen leaving a nightclub with van der Sloot and two other men. In court on Wednesday, Manasco said she considered van der Sloot’s “brutal murder of Natalee Holloway” in her decision to accept the plea agreement.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Beth Holloway was after one thing for 18 years: answers about what happened to her missing daughter. Van der Sloot said the teen was already unconscious, or even dead, when he picked up a nearby cinderblock and brought it down on her face. “I smash her head in with it completely," van der Sloot said, according to an Oct. 3 transcript of the meeting. She stood her ground.”Dave Holloway, Natalee’s father, called van der Sloot “evil personified" in a statement issued after the sentencing hearing. Peru agreed to temporarily extradite van der Sloot to the U.S. to face proceedings on the extortion charge.

But while external forces seem to be threatening markets, Dominic Wilson, senior advisor in Goldman Sachs' global markets research group, thinks investors themselves will turn recession fears into a self-fulfilling prophecy. In a note to clients late last week, Wilson wrote that the strength of the US economy has pushed markets upwards for most of the year. Investor sentiment has driven markets all year — particularly the exuberance over the potential of AI, which sent shares of a few key tech stocks higher and dragged the rest of the S&P 500 along with them. But Wilson thinks these issues are simply a "pothole" that the market will eventually recover from. If that's the case and stocks do bounce back in 2024, smart investors should position themselves now for profits later.

CNN —Cecily Aguilar, the woman charged in connection with the 2020 killing of Army Spc. Vanessa Guillen, has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. Aguilar pleaded guilty last year to one count of accessory after the fact, and three counts of making a false statement. Robinson died by suicide as authorities closed in on him in 2020, making Aguilar the only person charged in connection to Guillen’s death. Guillen, who was a 20-year-old private first class at the time of her death, went missing in April 2020.

After soaking up all the tension for close to three hours, world number 76 Svitolina finally toppled 19th seed Azarenka with an ace on her second match point and promptly collapsed onto her back in her moment of triumph. Bizarrely, the crowd booed Azarenka as she left the court, obviously not realising the reason why the Belarusian did not offer Svitolina the obligatory post match handshake. "I thought it was a great tennis match. Svitolina frustrated Azarenka for over 11 minutes in the fourth game of the match which dragged on for five deuces, with the Ukrainian missing a break point chance in the process. Seconds later she had levelled the contest after Azarenka swiped a forehand long to surrender her serve.

The Flash, the latest DC Comics superhero to get his very own big show, isn’t the outfit’s usual brooding heavyweight. a billionaire), but an electrified nerd who joined the super-ranks by accident, not by birthright or by design. He’s really, really fast on his feet, you bet. That’s a relief, particularly given how the movie tries to clobber you into submission. If the bludgeoning feels more inescapable these days, it’s partly because the major studios now bank so heavily on superhero movies.

As former President Donald Trump blinks on the abortion debate, his likely top rival, Florida Gov. Asked about that remark, DeSantis said the legislation he signed is something that "probably 99% of pro-lifers support." Trump himself underlined that contrast when asked in a recent interview about the six-week abortion ban that DeSantis had just signed in Florida. But DeSantis' willingness to hit Trump from the right on abortion could also be a strategic one. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, who launched a Republican presidential exploratory committee last month, has said he backs a federal abortion ban after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
The economy is headed into a "Bermuda Triangle" of risk, economist Nouriel Roubini warned. He sounded the alarm for a stagflationary debt crisis and a severe recession to hit the US. Second, high interest rates means firms are battling higher costs of borrowing and waning liquidity, which weighs on asset prices. Finally, high interest rates are pressuring the mountain of debt, both private and public, that was amassed during the years of low rates, Roubini said. And when many of them are having these problems, then you have a systemic household debt crisis like [2008]," he warned.
A new lawsuit claims Amazon is breaking California law by selling products containing donkey meat. download the app Email address By clicking ‘Sign up’, you agree to receive marketing emails from Insider as well as other partner offers and accept our Terms of Service and Privacy PolicyThe Center for Contemporary Equine Studies is suing Amazon for selling products containing donkey meat, despite efforts from advocacy groups to halt the practice. The lawsuit claims the e-commerce giant is illegally selling products that contain "ejiao" — a gelatin made from the skin of donkeys and used in various products like health supplements — in violation of California animal welfare law. The lawsuit comes after efforts led by advocacy groups to push Amazon to drop the products through campaigns and petitions, to no avail. While competitors like Walmart and eBay have pledged to remove products containing ejiao and prohibit future sales, according to Wired, Amazon has yet to nix the products, even as pressure mounts.
I'm senior reporter Phil Rosen, here to ring in a pivotal Tesla earnings report with you this morning. But his wealth — and the wealth of his shareholders — could whipsaw today, depending on what comes across in a particularly important earnings report. But amid the bearishness (not to mention distractions from Twitter), Elon Musk's car maker is still a favorite on Wall Street. FactSet data shows that 64% of analysts give Tesla stock a "buy" or "overweight" rating. US stock futures fall early Wednesday, after Microsoft earnings delivered a bleak outlook that added to investors' worries about earnings growth.
The December jobs report is another data point that signals the Fed has more work to do to cool the economy. "A labor market this strong means an imminent recession is highly improbable," Indeed Hiring Lab economist Nick Bunker wrote in a note. While stocks usually sell off after these strong reports, fearing the worst from the Fed, Friday saw a strong rally. History suggests there are very strong odds the stock market gains 20% this year after last year's bludgeoning. Tesla stock has tumbled to multiyear lows.
Now, unlike this newsletter and all you readers, the stock market is rounding out a year to forget. It's worth noting, too, that alongside slumping stocks, investor sentiment is worse than it was during the 2008 Financial Crisis. But in Fundstrat's view, that suggests a stock market bottom is near, if it hasn't happened already. In other words, overly bearish sentiment suggests stocks could be set up for a big rally in 2023. What's your stock market outlook for the new year?
BlackRock's Rick Rieder said the fixed income market should be less volatile in 2023 and investors should have a chance to recover a good bit of this year's losses. I think this is a generational point for fixed income, around where you can buy quality income without taking a lot of convexity, credit, illiquidity risk." But for stock investors, fixed income poses a challenge. "The marginal dollar has to go into those fixed income assets," he said. Rieder said fixed income investors still face risks, such as defaults and downgrades, but they should see positive returns next year.
A GOP congresswoman went viral Thursday for tearfully begging her colleagues to vote against a bill that would protect same-sex marriage nationwide. “Today, my aunt Vicky started crying because gay people like me can get married,” Andrew, 24, said in the video, which was shared Thursday. “I’ll tell you my priorities: Protect religious liberty, protect people of faith and protect Americans who believe in a true meaning of marriage," Hartzler said through tears. In addition to ensuring that the federal government recognizes same-sex marriages that were validly performed, the legislation will also protect interracial marriages. The legislation went on to pass the House by a vote of 258-169, with 39 Republicans supporting the legislation.
A GOP congresswoman cried as she spoke out against the bipartisan Respect for Marriage Act on Thursday. Rep. Vicky Hartzler of Missouri begged members of the House to vote against the bill. "I hope and pray that my colleagues will find the courage to join me in opposing this misguided and this dangerous bill," Hartzler said through tears. "I hope and pray that my colleagues will find the courage to join me in opposing this misguided and this dangerous bill," Hartzler said through tears. Following his opinion and the Supreme Court's reversal of the nation's abortion protections granted in the famous Roe v. Wade case, Democrats labored to enshrine same-sex marriage protections in law.
